I have an idea — in the Johto anime, there were groups of threes, and each person battled both opponents (not at the same time, of course). Then, whoever won the most would progress on. This would work with nine contestants. However, this can take a lot more time, since each person has to battle twice.

Since this might be way too time-consuming, I think you should just put out a blog for a tenth spot and immediately give that person four picks. It's your choice, though.
